Parallel computing flipped presentation. Material about clusters. I asked for “a popular middleware application”; expected BOINC. Got gRPC instead. Not acceptable; elaborated. Clarification: gRPC is a simple framework that allows simple IPC. Not acceptable; stated the need for middleware, not the protocol a middleware could use. Got RabbitMQ instead. Not acceptable; elaborated further, offering a clue. No further answers.

Gotta be honest, I can’t pursue my interest in ML enough because the woke perceive them like something from hell

sometimes I wonder if HQ rippers were delighted/horrified with those NN-based audio stem splitters

Wait, that string rewriting esolang that costs $3 in Steam doesn’t even support Linux?!

Ugh. I’ll stick with ///. Unless if I can force my way; might as well bring Clicky as well if I did.

Edit: I got it (it’s hidden in the settings)

I need to put a female computer on my island…

…GLaDOS? Sure, could you make a 3DS Mii of her?

Two years later, we decided to migrate the main TBGs to the forum software the Sandbox is likely running on. Good job past me.

<marquee> is still not supported though heheh >=)

  1. You’re advertising a platform that has virtually no moderation whatsoever. Not a good idea imo.

  2. <marquee> is deprecated, see the MDN docs. I’ll be more than happy if Firefox removes them in the future.

  3. I don’t find most of the new additions on BBcode engine there to be useful. Not all computers have the Georgia font that you adore, and besides who needs the ability to use different fonts while you only need text?

  4. Stop forcing people passively.

If you don’t know, TBG Sandbox (https://tbgsandbox.createaforum.com) refers to https://tbgsandbox.createaforum.com (TBG Sandbox), which has cool BBCode tags such as:

  • Move (the only one that matters)

  • No other BBCode tags matter, no need to talk about them

Warning: There is an account creation question that is impossible to answer, just fail it a few times and wait for it to change

Also, RSS feed.

The reason why I hate TBG Sandbox:

  • PkmnQ kept selling it

  • It’s abandoned

Turns out ZeroMQ exists and it’s very useful

# Now I only need the jukebox
while true; for f in (ls | shuf); sox $f -C 9 --comment "" -t ogg - pad 0 5; end; end | ffmpeg -readrate 1 -f ogg -i - -b:a 48k -f opus zmq:tcp://localhost:2763

The efforts I have to make for a private “Internet radio”

# The jukebox 
for f in (ls | grep " " | grep -iv "compress" | shuf); sox $f -C 9 --comment "" -t ogg - pad 0 5; end | ffmpeg -readrate 1 -f ogg -i - -b:a 320k -f mpegts "udp://127.0.0.1:7060" 

# Meanwhile, in another SSH connection, the sound system
# (needed because SSH doesn't support UDP tunneling) 
while true; ffmpeg -v -8 -f mpegts -i "udp://127.0.0.1:7060" -f matroska -bufsize 3000k -c:a libopus "tcp://127.0.0.1:7070?listen"; end

WHAT THE

Edit: I chose Ian. He rejected her.
